Virustotal alerts #49

Closed dslgr closed 1 year ago

Hi, I'm not sure what there is to do about it but I thought I should mention that v0.7 is getting flagged by virustotal. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/895349c623f2dafb3cb42902b10eefa92051f4fd6d750c0049c17cf2c30d294f/detection

This did not seem to happen with v0.6 https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/5875fe166aeaee97393e4383c121e97952136bfefe3db23ebe66d6db1422b5df

It's probably because I changed it from a "command line app" to an "invisible graphical app". I'm guessing these scanners find that suspicious. (This was done to improve the experience with launched from the new Windows Terminal).

The only thing that can be done AFAIK is to request that your antivirus vendor of choice investigates the false positive and updates their list. I've done so with Windows Defender as everyone has that one installed, but if someone uses a third party they will have to reach out to them to manual inspect DKR and update their virus definitions/heuristics.

I have the same issue with Symantec Endpoint Antivirus that found v0.7 infected. This issue is not present in my fork compilation, check my release. I compiled it with Visual Studio 2022 on Windows 7. Before compilation, I changed the code, but I think this issue doesn't depend on my code changes.

Thanks @ulixxe! I'll take a look at your changes and will see if I can merge them upstream.

I recompiled the v0.7 build with the latest Visual Studio toolkit, that seems to have appeased some of the virus scanners.
